Vince woke up to prepare for school and instinctively checked the front page of Reddit. The top post was created by a person who recently bought the new iPhone and wanted to download Wingin'' Chicken but couldn''t find it on the App Store.
Thenguage used was pure rage and abuse, and many other Reddit usersmented and upvoted it.
"Apple most likely removed it because of the microtransactions in the game. Apple can''t make money from the game as it is now.", a clever Redditormented.
"Apple is just as greedy as always. I heard a 13-year old student made this game. Imagine bullying a kid as a multi-billion dorpany.", another Redditormented.
Both of these sentiments were also upvoted as high as the original post.
[This isn''t good. I can''t even log in to the game even though I have thetest version installed. I''ll have to ask Jessica to help me create a website to import the video game and provide ess to all the users who y for free or not,] he thought.
Vince checked his email and found a message from Lewis-Jacobs regarding awsuit Apple is pursuing against Future Technologies.
He replied, saying to fight the suit the best they can and estimate how much it would cost to win it.
Vince asked thew firm to announce the game will be avable on browsers soon, and users will not lose any progress on their ount, including what users paid for already.
[This will derail the production of our new game but not too much,] he thought.
Mobile was a huge market for his games and would require cooperation from Apple and Google for more ambitious projects like their uing game. He discussed the issue with his team during lunch that same day. "Jessica, I''ll need your help designing different aspects of the website for Wingin'' Chicken. You can use your current work as a base to start with.", Vince said.
"I''m mostly done with theyout, but I''ll need some help with the server hosting. Millions of people will want to continue ying the game, and I don''t know where to start regarding that problem.", Jessica replied.
"Understood. In the meantime, coborate with Sarah and Rick. They''re currently working on interface art for the mobile game, but we can use those assets to beautify the website.", Vince said.
Lewis-Jacobs issued a public announcement regarding the status of the current most popr game. People upvoted the post andmented on agreements about the countersuit they will be fighting against Apple.
"This poor kid will have to spend the time porting his game on the browser instead of enjoying student life.", amenter wrote.
"Thank god, I won''t have to buy everything in the game again.", another Redditor added.
Vince received an email about the initial cost of fighting thewsuit. It was a cool $10,000,000. It was the cost of fighting one of thergest multinational corporations on Earth.
[It''s not too bad, I suppose. Before I reincarnated, some consultation contracts we had were worth around the same amount. Professionals are expensive, that''s for sure,] he thought.
His mother was worried as she was notified by Ms. Kemp about it during work but was reassured by Vince that they had enough funds to win the suit.
Leah had faith in her son and chose to believe him.
"Mom, you don''t have to work anymore. I want you to focus on recovering from your treatments.", he said. Leah reluctantly agreed for now. After dinner, Vince checked his satoshi wallet bnce and found 5 million BTC waiting there.
The exchange listing price was much higherpared to thest time he cashed out some Bitcoin. It was currently $5 = 1 BTC. Exchanging his Bitcoin right now will be painful considering how much the value of Bitcoin will grow in the future, but he needs the funds right now and cannot avoid it.
He spread out selling a total of 4 million BTC to avoid upsetting the market too much for a dor total of $20 million. So half will go to Lewis-Jacobs, and the rest will be some spending money for himself and the crew.
Vince sent an email to Lewis-Jacobs notifying them about the withdrawal. The firm will process the cash with Deloitte like before, but they would subtract their fees and the taxes to be paid.
[Bitcoin was not a recognized currency yet, but any dor earnings will always have some kind of tax associated with it. I trust Deloitte to perform its due diligence on this reasonablyrge withdrawal], he thought.
Thewsuit was massive and received national news attention for the next week.
Vince didn''t take thewsuit too seriously and worked on the browser port of Wingin'' Chicken with Jessica. He had already set up an essible data storage server for his team to share resources and coborate more efficiently. Additionally, Vince utilized cloud technology to host the website.
Microsoft Azure provided a utility-based charging system and can easily be expanded or reduced depending on the currentwork traffic experienced at any point in time.
The working version was released a week after the App Store removed the game. Apple users can now ess the game on their devices but only using a browser.
Thanks to its simplicity, the game itself ran well, and users were happy to y it again. Fortunately, thewsuit was swinging in their favor. The judge even ordered the rued advertisement revenue to be paid out to Future Technologies while the case was still active.
Apple begrudgingly released the funds, and Vince''s business ount grew by $5 million after taxes and fees. He asked for the ad revenue to be split between the five members of Future Technologies for their initial paycheck.
[My friends deserve a payday after spending so much time improving their skills and contributing to Future Tech''s projects since the beginning.] Vince pondered.
The parents were dumbfounded when they received the check from a courier sent by Lewis-Jacobs to ensure the right people received them.
"It''s like we won the lottery!" one of the parents shouted in their home. The parents opted to use Deloitte, as suggested by Lewis-Jacobs, to manage their kids'' ounts because it was the safest way to avoid any potential issues.
